Corticon Deploymemt Descriptor (CDD) files let you package Ruleflows, pre-compiled Decision Services, and their deployment parameters in an XML-formatted text file.
Important: CDD deployment of Ruleflows - CDD Deployment of .erf files is not supported on all application servers. The recommended practice is to deploy precompiled .eds files when using CDD deployment.
When Corticon Server reads a CDD file, it reads in each instance defined in the file to load its Ruleflow or Decision Service, and then sets its execution and configuration parameters.
Note: If you are using the bundled Progress Application Server to test and deploy, copy the Deployment Descriptor file to the Corticon Server installation's [CORTICON_WORK_DIR]\cdd directory. When Corticon Server starts, it reads all .cdd files in that default location.
Deployment Descriptor files are created and managed by:
Using the Server Deployment Console - The graphical Deployment Console is included in both Corticon Server installations.
